This is the administrator's guide of the HEPiX X11 scripts, it tries to describe what an administrator (site, system or group) can do to modify the X environment that will be offered to "his" users.
With the version 3.x of the HEPiX scripts, an X11 package is provided to give a good default X environment that is easy to customise.
This document describes only what is specific to X11. It is complementary to the HEPiX scripts administrator's guide.
At CERN, the installation is straightforward when you use ASIS and SUE. In fact, SUE installs by default the HEPiX X11 scripts and you have nothing to do...
Otherwise, here is what should be done:
/usr/local/lib/hepix
, /etc/hepix
...)
/usr/local/lib/hepix
,
for instance from ASIS
xdm
wrappers either by hand following the
installation instructions or using the
SUE installation tools
under /afs/cern.ch/project/hepix/working-groups/scripts/tools/sue
You can easily customise the HEPiX X11 scripts by
modifying some files and
setting some variables, usually in the file xprofile
.
As an example, you can look at the site level customisation done at CERN that is documented elsewhere.
